Your Starbucks barista always knows what to order! They’re the experts at making drinks! I’ve decided to start a new column, appearing Mondays, called “Drink of the Week.” Every Monday, you’ll find a barista pick.
To start this new column, I went to the Leschi Starbucks and talked to Luisa who told me that she drinks a quad espresso, packed with ice, with one inch of non-fat milk. She says that this is the drink that gets her through early morning openings!
I’m looking for your drink submissions! Come be featured on StarbucksMelody with your go-to beverage. Include the drink recipe, a photo of the drink, your name, and some information about your store or where you’re located at. Email me at Melody@StarbucksMelody.com. Your drink will be featured just like Luisa’s! Only your first name and drink recipe will be published and the picture you send in. Please send a pic of the drink when it’s full – not half consumed.
Include your mailing address if you want a $10 Starbucks card, as a thank you for being featured here.
Welcome to #drinkoftheweek!

Awesome idea Melody. We can be a creative bunch sometimes!
we had one named after one of my wonderful baristas called ” The Marshall”. This is for someone who needs to do an all-nighter. In a venti iced cup pour in a small can of Doubleshot, add 4 pumps of vanilla, 4 espresso shots, then fill to the third line with 1/2 and 1/2. Fill cup with ice. Be warned-I gave this to one of our college baristas. He came back the next day and said “Ms. Val, that drink you made me was great. I finished my paper but then spent the rest of the night wide awake and thinking about my life.”.
When I worked for Seattle Art Supply, (over 10 years ago!) my buddy Larry and I would go to “the other guys” – because they were closer – and he would order a 4 shot Americano with an inch of room, and I would order a Venti Caramel Latte with an extra shot and 1/2 pump less caramel syrup. The baristas named these drinks after us…the Larricano and the Caramolly. Anyone could go there and get our coffee for us! Kinda miss those days!
